I have a passion for travel and have lived and worked in Spain for over two years, which has allowed me to travel and explore almost all of Europe. I have also spent an extensive amount of time traveling through Central America, South America, the Caribbean, the USA, and North Africa. When I travel, I like to delve deep into the culture and learn the history of each place along with getting to know the people, their traditions, their customs, their food, etc. I especially love the adventure-side of travel and enjoy connecting with the outdoors and experience heart-pumping ventures.

Living in Europe allowed me to experience more than I ever imagined. Every flight or train ride brought another adventure from camping in the Sahara Desert, running with the bulls and walking the Camino de Santiago in Spain, hiking through Cinque Terre, wine tasting in Tuscany, boating off the Amalfi Coast, strolling around Lake Como, touring ancient Rome and Athens, island hopping through Greece, visiting Port wine vineyards in Portugal, sailing through Croatia, bungee jumping in Switzerland, biking through Amsterdam, skiing in Austria, beaching on the French Riviera, visiting Christmas markets in Germany and Belgium, road-tripping through Scotland, celebrating St. Patrick’s Day in Ireland, touring concentration camps in Poland, swimming in bathhouses in Budapest, and learning personal family history in Czech Republic. I was able to soak up the culture, the people, the history, the architecture, the food, the wine, the landscape, the sun, the snow etc of each of these countries and I want to help you have experiences of dreams too. I would love to plan your next vacation and we can start checking off your travel bucket list together.
